Bianca Stone is a gifted poet, visual artist, and creator of 'poetry comics who affirms and celebrates life even as she acknowledges its dark, desperate moments. Her brand-new verse collection, What Is Otherwise Infinite, has been featured on NPR and hailed as "extraordinary" by The Washington Post. She is also the author of The Mobius Strip Club of Grief (2018) and Someone Else's Wedding Vows (2014). In this excerpt from our forthcoming full conversation with Stone, she talks about searching for the best words to convey an experience, and why the heart of storytelling lies in the connections between storytellers and their audiences. #stories #storytelling #storytellers #poetry #poetrylovers #poems #poetrycollections #poetrycomics #graphicnovels #biancastone #annecarson #ruthstone
